"Not good!" Nangong Mingxuan was shocked and quickly gestured to Ouyang Miaoling, indicating her to follow him.

Then, the two of them quietly moved closer to the tent to better observe the situation.

When they arrived not far from the tent, Nangong Mingxuan whispered to Ouyang Miaoling, "I'll go check the situation. You wait here. If there is any disturbance, leave here immediately." After that, he walked towards the tent cautiously.

Nangong Mingxuan was agile and lightly dodged the guards' sight and approached the tent quietly and silently.

He looked inside through the gap in the tent curtain that was fluttering in the wind. He saw a masked man sitting on the main seat in the commander's tent, lecturing Song Yi.

Song Yi knelt on the ground, lowered his head and listened to the man's scolding, nodding from time to time to show his agreement. Fearing that he would be discovered, Nangong Mingxuan did not dare to get too close, so he could not hear what they said specifically.

Just as he was concentrating on observing, he suddenly saw Song Yi seemed to have finished his reprimand and was about to stand up. Realizing that danger was approaching, Nangong Mingxuan quickly turned around and flashed back to Ouyang Miaoling's hiding place.

The two quickly fled the tent and discussed their next plan.

"Ling'er... Let's go back first. Those people will come looking for us soon. We must find out what they do and why they are recruiting soldiers here. Their purpose must be to fight against the court. We must disintegrate them as soon as possible."

After listening to Nangong Mingxuan's suggestion, Ouyang Miaoling agreed. So, the two pretended to have finished their work and returned to the camp again. When they came back, their boss had not returned yet, so they were still wearing their night clothes.

"What took you so long to come back?" one of the companions who looked a little older voiced in reproach.

Nangong Mingxuan cleared his throat and explained, "This is my fault. I had diarrhea for a long time just now, and this little brother came back late because he was waiting for me."

After listening to it, the man said with displeasure: "This won't happen again. If there is a next time, I will definitely tell the commander..."

Nangong Mingxuan nodded and bowed quickly, and answered flatteringly: "There won't be a next time, I will definitely pay attention!" Surprisingly, the man actually believed what he said.

The group was waiting boredly when suddenly a noisy sound of footsteps was heard outside, followed by the return of their leader.

"Commander Wang," everyone stood up and saluted the commander who had just returned.

"Everyone, get up. We have to rush to the back mountain tonight to investigate the situation. The team A sent out today has not returned yet, and we don't know what happened. The general ordered us to go and find them. The general has ordered the kitchen to prepare food for us. After dinner, we will move."

"Yes," Commander Wang said, and everyone answered in unison.

Then the commander named Wang briefly deployed the next division of labor, and he walked out of the tent, leaving the rest of the people to wait for dinner and continue to carry out their tasks.

Some of the brave ones began to complain: "Why do we have to go? We have to go for a whole day without any rest. We are so exhausted! General Song is too partial. He never thinks of us when there are missions that can make us meritorious. He only thinks of us for such thankless tasks."

"I say you should keep your voice down. Don't let someone with ulterior motives overhear you. If they report you to General Song, you'll be in big trouble." It was the older man who spoke up to dissuade them.

The man said unconvincedly, "I'm not afraid of them filing a complaint. If they have the guts, go ahead and file a complaint! My sister is the noble concubine of the Marshal's mansion. She loves me very much. When the time comes, I will let my sister whisper in the Marshal's ear and I'll see who will be the one to suffer the consequences."

"Hey... young people, don't be too aggressive. It's not good for your future..." the older man advised. He looked at the young man earnestly, with a trace of worry and concern in his eyes.

"Just take care of yourself. I can't complain a few words. You are not my captain, so what right do you have to say that to me?" After saying that, she did not forget to look in the direction of Nangong Mingxuan.

Nangong Mingxuan seemed to understand something. It turned out that the clothes he stole were the clothes of a team leader.

So he stood up to help the complaining man and said, "We are all working under Commander Wang. What we need to do is to unite as one and complete the tasks assigned to us. Don't talk about other things, as it will hurt the harmony."

After hearing what Nangong Mingxuan said, the man pouted at the older guard and said, "Our captain is right. I won't give in to some people..."

Ouyang Miaoling looked at Nangong Mingxuan and admired his reaction.

Just when everyone had finished their meal and lined up to set off, Song Yi, accompanied by Commander Wang, came to their tent.

Song Yi gave a mobilization speech to everyone, standing at the front. It was a passionate speech.

Nangong Mingxuan stood in the crowd, lowered his head, and tried to avoid eye contact with Song Yi. He prayed in his heart not to be discovered, but at the same time he was prepared to deal with any possible situation.

After the speech, everyone started to set off, and the team walked out of the tent in an orderly manner.

However, when he reached the back, Song Yi suddenly noticed the two people walking at the end.

He stopped and stared at them sharply, as if he had noticed something was wrong.

Song Yi stopped the last two people, Nangong Mingxuan and Ouyang Miaoling.

When Nangong Mingxuan heard Song Yi's cry, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. He was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and his mind was quickly thinking about how to respond.

Just as Song Yi walked towards the two of them step by step, the marshal's brother-in-law suddenly called out, "Captain, why aren't you leaving yet?" This sentence broke the tense atmosphere and distracted Song Yi's attention for a moment.

Song Yi looked back at his brother-in-law, then turned back and continued to stare at the two suspicious people. But in the end, he relaxed his vigilance and waved his hand to signal them to leave.

Nangong Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, secretly feeling lucky. He and Ouyang Miaoling quickly caught up with the team and moved forward with the others.

The mountain road was narrow and rugged at night, and the moonlight shone through the clouds, illuminating the road ahead. The team held torches and moved forward carefully, and the sound of their footsteps echoed in the mountains.

Along the way, Nangong Mingxuan left marks along the road, leaving clues for them to enter again and wipe out the rebels.

They walked for almost a whole night, and at dawn, everyone was exhausted, so they suggested taking a rest on the spot before continuing on their journey.

Commander Wang could not bear everyone's requests, and finally decided to rest for half an hour before continuing on his journey.
